A magnetic/energetic apparatus for purifying gas mixtures comprises a vortex tube and magnetic elements. Such an apparatus can include an inlet valve configured to receive a gas mixture having one or more disposed paramagnetic gas species and one or more diamagnetic gas species; a high-shear environment energetic separation chamber coupled to the inlet valve; a plurality of magnetic elements coupled to an outer wall of the high-shear environment separation chamber, wherein each of the plurality of magnetic elements are arranged so as to have a respective pole alternating in polarity with respect to an adjacently positioned magnetic element so as to induce a field gradient between each of the adjacently positioned magnetic elements and within the inner wall of the high-shear environment separation chamber; and at least one exit valve so as provide a substantially separated one or more paramagnetic gas species from the one or more diamagnetic gas species.

The object of the invention is an apparatus (50) for magnetic treatment of fluids, comprising a substantially cylindrical housing (6), having a bottom wall (61), a top wall (62), and a sidewall (60) running around the circumference of the bottom wall (61) and of the top wall (62) of the housing; at least one inlet opening (2, 3) and at least one outlet opening (4) formed in a wall of the housing (6); at least one magnet (8) connected to the housing (6), wherein the magnetic field of the magnet intrudes into the housing; wherein one or more inlet tubes (30) are connected to the one or more inlet openings (2, 3), wherein the inlet tubes are at least partially tangential at least in the proximity of the inlet opening. As a result of this configuration, the velocity vector of the fluid to be treated has a significant tangential component during most of its travel through the apparatus and thus the fluid crosses the magnetic field lines of the magnets having their magnetic axes oriented parallel with the centerline of the housing such that the angle formed between said field lines and said velocity vector is large.

Burning of hydrocarbon fuels in a combustion engine creates pollutants that include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and various hydrocarbons. Catalytic converter which is designed to reduce such pollutants relies on precious metal catalysts like platinum. There is an ongoing need to find more effective methods of pollution control as well as cheaper alternatives to precious metals. The solution proposed in this disclosure takes advantage of electrical characteristics of exhaust gases. Some of the pollutants in the exhaust gas exhibit positive electron affinity. Such pollutants are converted to negative ions by providing extra electrons. Many of the pollutants have charge distributions which facilitate electrical interactions with the ions. They are attracted to the ions to form clusters. Pollutant clusters formed as such are separated from the rest of the exhaust gas by electric and/or magnetic forces.

An approach is disclosed processing elements from input gases. The input gases are received into an electromagnetic plasma separator where the input gases are heated to at least 8000 degrees Kelvin, via a plasma combustor, to form a gas plasma element state. The gas plasma element state is sent through a series of concentrated super conducting magnets M (M.sub.1, M.sub.2, . . . , M.sub.i, . . . , M.sub.n), i>1, which act as targeted plasma separators. Each super conducting magnet M.sub.i in the series of concentrated super conducting magnets M (M.sub.1, M.sub.2, . . . , M.sub.i, . . . , M.sub.n) extracts a corresponding individual plasma state element from the gas plasma into a corresponding separated element S (S.sub.1, S.sub.2, . . . . S.sub.i, . . . , Sn) until a residue of oxygen, nitrogen, and other trace elements remain. The corresponding plasma state element is extracted into a separation arrangement.

A device and method is provided for separating associated ions within a gaseous fluid stream into a first population of positively-charged hydrated hydrogen ions and a second population of gaseous hydrated anions. The device employs a housing and spinning wheel within a vacuum chamber to expose a flow of associated ions to a combination of microwaves and magnetic energy within the vacuum to cause bifurcation of the associated ions into a first population of positively-charged hydrated hydrogen ions and a second population of gaseous hydrated anions which may be collected in reservoirs. The collected two populations can be further channeled through a transformer to electrically induce a force for locomotion or communication.

Magnetic systems and methods for oxygen separation and purification from fluids utilizing the paramagnetic properties of oxygen. A magnetic field gradient is established in a tube having a first end in flow communication with a source of a fluid containing oxygen. The fluid is flowed through the tube. The magnetic field gradient causes oxygen to be enriched in the fluid on a first interior side of the tube as compared to a second interior side of the tube. For a fluid like air having oxygen, a paramagnetic substance, and other, e.g., diamagnetic, components like nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and water vapor, the technology of the disclosure effectively separates oxygen molecules from the other components in magnetic field gradients of sufficient magnitude.

The separator includes a wall surrounding an interior portion of a tube. The wall has at least one aperture formed in the wall. The separator also includes at least one magnet positioned adjacently to the at least one aperture. The magnet has a north pole end and a south pole end. A magnetic field gradient is formed between the north pole end and the south pole end, and extends into an interior portion of the tube. The system also includes a storage tank fluidly coupled to the at least one aperture for storing the at least a portion of the oxygen removed from the liquid via the separator.
